Details

Noah, is not your typical entertain-the-kids-no-matter-how-boring-it-is kind of sitter. He's reluctant to take a sitting gig; he'd rather, well, be doing anything else, especially if it involves slacking. When Noah is watching the neighbor's kid he gets a booty call from his girlfriend in the city. To hook up with her, Noah takes to the streets, but his urban adventure spins out of control as he finds himself on the run from a maniacal drug lord.

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
adonis98-743-186503 A college student on suspension is coaxed into babysitting the kids next door, though he is fully unprepared for the wild night ahead of him. The Sitter is the exact same comedy that you would expect to see by now. It has drugs, boob shots, very bad humor, terrible perfomances and of course drinking. Jonah Hill is definitely better than this and what the hell was Sam Rockwell doing in here? I mean common you're better than this man. If you love cheesy comedies with lot's of R-Rated jokes and full of sex jokes? You might like this, if not? Stay away. (F)
Python Hyena The Sitter (2011): Dir: David Gordon Green / Cast: Jonah Hill, Max Records, Ari Graynor, Sam Rockwell, J.B. Smoove: This is not the year for David Gordon Green. First he directed the misfire fantasy fart fest Your Highness. Now he is stuck with his second embarrassing failure. This is a vulgar comedy about responsibility as Jonah Hill is stuck babysitting three brats. These kids are beyond real. One needs more pills for anxiety than viewers may require for watching this sh*t. The girl wears more makeup than a drag queen and uses language best reserved for traffic jams. The third is an adopted Mexican kid who blows up toilets with cherry bombs. We are suppose to laugh at the so-called cuteness and accept the lame resolution where understanding is met even after an evening of chaos. Hill survives the material because perhaps we can understand his anguish. The children are a pitiful unsympathetic bunch that come across as a kick to the crotch to sensible parenting. Ari Graynor plays the sleazy tramp whom Hill wants to lay and will stoop to going on a drug quest with the kids in the car just to impress. Sam Rockwell was brilliant in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. How unfortunate that he get reduced to playing a flamboyant drug dealer who stores drugs in dinosaur egg containers. Green will always have The Pineapple Express as a positive film on his resume, but that doesn't make up for the two piles of sh*t he makes for 2011. While locations are about as ambitious as this junk gets, its message is lost within its disgusting sense of comedy. It is a film that should sit in a trash bin. Score: 2 ½ / 10
SnoopyStyle Noah Griffith (Jonah Hill) is a college student on suspension. He is coaxed into babysitting the three kids next door. He is unprepared for the wild night ahead of him. He gets called by his girlfriend Marisa (Ari Graynor) and gets entangled with a crazed drug dealer (Sam Rockwell).This is sorta like 'Adventures in Babysitting (1987)' except it's more mean-spirited. Sam Rockwell plays a bad guy that's way too silly. Jonah is way too unlikeable. There just isn't any joy in this movie. The jokes doesn't really work either. There is a couple of good scenes but it is too unlikeable.
Bestie563 Despite being a comedy movie with a lot of chaos as practically everything goes wrong when Noah Griffith takes the kids he's babysitting on a road trip to get some drugs for his 'girlfriend' this movie shows a lot of character growth and has a very good 'moral' behind it.For instance, Noah tells Slater of how he has realised that Slater doesn't have any big problems and that he is actually gay. Noah helps Slater a lot in his acceptance of his sexuality by telling him how in college no one will care and how it is perfectly okay to be gay. Also Noah realises that his hot girlfriend is just using him and doesn't have any actual feelings for him and ditches her for a nicer girl from his old astronomy class who admits to have been too shy to talk to him at school. Finally Slater confronts Rodrigo about how scary he can be which helps Rodrigo to open up more to his new family meaning they can all get along better.So no this movie is not as bad as people are making it out to be, it is actually a very funny movie with a very good ending.
